well Thank you for everyones comments,
now, about wheels.. trust me i'm agreeing with all of you. i have my eye on a couple sets, just working on the money and deciding which ones i want to go with. come springtime when snow isn't going to be an issue i should be good to go.
as for this. homework may be needed sir.
OEM- Original Equipment Manufacturer
the title says OE... no "M"
the kit was replicated to look like the OEM one (minus the front but i'll get to that). but since it is not manufactured by honda it loses the "M" and keeps the OE. "OE" is more the style than the maker. at least i interpret it that way.
as far as the front. your right it is not quite an OEM Replica, and even if it was a direct replica it still wouldn't be OEM unless it was from Honda. but lets face it, if you take a picture of this one next to the OEM one they share insane similarities.
Bayson R took the OEM one and used a little artistic licence to make his version stand out a little more. it has the same lines as the OEM but more flared and rigid.
i've been thinking about a mugen front because honestly the baysonR OE style is kinda dying on me little by little. but i've been stubborn because i like the fact that barely anyone has this lip.
I would say "EM," and leave out the "O" because it's not original Honda. Just equipment manufacturer. I have one of those, and the lines do not match up like the OEM one. The OEM ones touch the line, and that one does not. I have both. The only reason why I bought the Bayson R was because I thought it was an OEM replica, but it's not. It's a failed attempt to make an OEM replica. The middle part where the mouth of the car is bent up on the lip. It looks like when Bayson R was making the first mold, they let it sit on the ground with the bumper, instead of letting it hang on the car. That's probably why it's bent up in the middle.
